THE GIRL WITH AUBURN HAIR.

A great deal of attention has
been directed to the girl with au-
burn hair, during the past month
or so, by the New York paper which
announced that whenever one of
her was seen a white horse would
also be seen in the immediate vicin-
ity. This strange fact has been cor
roborated by observation, and it has
attracted TO the girl with auburn
hair an attention which she does
not like. A writer IN the Chicago
Tribune has promptly stepped for
ward with an interesting article
which every girl with auburn hair
should be proud of.
He shows that history, and poetry
have all paid homage to the girl
who possessed

The greatest Italian painters like

ROsamond's locks were a yellow

golden hair. The hair of Helen of
Troy was tawny so was that of
Sappho, and Cleopatra had red hair
and was freckled. Mary Queen of
Scots, had red hair. "The two

POSITIONS THAT EFFECT SLEEP.
WHAT AN OBSERVANT PHI YSICIAN
SAYS CAUSE OF SNORING
DREAMS,

UREA DID.
According to DIR. Granville the
position affects sleep. A cOnstrain-
ed position generally prevents re-
pose, while a comfortable one
wooes sleep. He says lying fiat on
the back with the limbs relaxed
would seem to secure the greatest
amount of rest for the muscular
system.
This IS the position assumed in
the most exhausting diseases, and
it is generally hailed as a token of
revival when a patient voluntarily
turns on the side but there are
several advantages in the supine
posture which impair or embarrass
sleep. Thus, in weakly states of
the heart and blood vessels and
certain morbid conditions Of the
brain the blood seems to gravltate
to the back of the head and to
produce troublesome dreams.
In persons who habitually in
their gait or work stoop, there is
probably some distress consequent
on strengthening the spine. Those
who haye contracted chests, es-
peclally persons who have had
pleurisy and retain adhesiOns OF the
lungs, do not sleep we'll on the
back.
Nearly all who are inclined to
snore do so in that position, be-
cause the soft palate and uyula
hang on the tongue, and that organ
falls back so as to partly close the
top OF the wiudpipe. 1t is better,
therefore, to lie on the side, ana In
the absence of special disease
rendering it desirable to lie on the
weak side so as to leave the healthy
lung free to expand, it is we'll to
use the right side, because when
the body is thus placed the food
gravitates more easily out of the
stomach into the intestines, and
the weight of the stomach does
not compress the upper portion of
the intestines.
A glance at any of the visceral
anatomy will show this must be.
MANY persons are deaf in one ear
and prefer to lie on a particular
side; but, il possible, the right side
should be chosen. Again, sleep.
ing with the arms thrown over the
head is to be deprecated but this
position is often assumed during
sleep, because circulation is then
tree in the extremities, and the
head and neck and muscles of the
chest are drawn up and fixed by
the shoulders, and thus the ez.
panslon of the thorax is easy.
The chief objection to these po-
sitions is that they create ten
dency to cramp and cold in the
arms, and sometimes seem to cause
headaches during sleep and dreams.
These small matters often make or
mar comfort in sleeping.-Boston
Budget.

Confederate veil, which, If not as
strong as in former days, was at
least as hearty and sincere. The

was had only by tickets OF invita-

and distinct tones, offered a fer
vent and appropriate prayer, IN
which he thanked God for the lite

ed that his old soldiers and rising
generations might initiate his many
virtues. The Grand Lodge of Nir-

cieved the work from the hands of

the hope that the monument might
"be as enduring as the reputation
of the soldier whose memory it COM
memorates." At this juncture the
rain became so heavy that the
Governor, after consultation with
others, announced that further ex-
ercises would be suspended, and
that the poem and Grafton would
be delivered at night in the hall Of
the House of Delegates. The crowd
even then seemed reluctant to dis

In its bronze was reared on high

With that great "rebep down the years
Twin "rebels" side by side =
And confronting such vision
All our grief gives place to pride.
These two shall ride immortal
And shall ride abreast of Time,
Shall light up stately history
Aud blaze in Epic Rhyme
Both patriots, both Virgnians true,
Both "rebels," both sublime.
Our past is full of glory,

And future spreads before us,
Not unworthy of the free.

And from hills to sea

BARRON HOPES TRIBUTE.


vIRGINIA's LATE POET SINGS THE PRAISES
or THE SOUTHERN CHIEFTAIN.
William Gordon McCabe, of Petersburg,
Virginia, read the following poem written
for the occasion by the late James Barron
Hope, of Norfolk, the well-known poet,
. only short time before he died:
MEMORLE sACRUM.
Great Mother of great Commonwealths
Men called our Mother State:
And she so well has earned this name
That she may challenge Fate
To snatch ewav the opithet
Long given her Of "great."
First of all Old England's outposts
To stand fast upon these shores,
Soon she brought a mighty harvest
To Peoples tbreshing floors,
And more than golden grain was piled
Within her ample doors.
Behind her stormy sunrise shOne,
Her shadow fell vast and long
And her mighty Admiral, English Smith,
Heads prodigious throng
Of as mighty men, from Raleigh down,
As ever arose in Song.
Her names are the shining arrows
Which her ancient quiver bears,
And her splendid sheaf has thickened
Through the long march of the years, =,
While her great shield has been FURNISHED
BY her children's blood and tears.
Yes, it is true, my Countrymen,
We are rich in names and blood,
And red have been the blossoms
From the first Colonial bud,
While her names have blazed rs meteors
BY many field and flood
And as some flood tumultuous
In sounding billows rolled,
Give back the evenings glories
In wealth of blazing gold
So does the present from It's waves
Reflect the lights of old.
Our history is n shifting sea
Locked IN by lofty land,
And its great billows of Hercules
Above the shining sand,
/ here behold in majesty
Uprising on each hand.
These pillars Of our history,
In fame forever yOung,
And named in every tongue,
And down through all the ages
Their story shall be sung.
The Father of His Country
Stands above that shut in sea
A glorious symbol to the world
OF all that's great and free;
And to-day Virginia matches him
And matches him with Lee.
